Ok I have a question. When I was 12 I woke up
News Years Day with a rash that covered my entire

I went to several docs that said it must
an allergy to something. It finally went away 2
months later.

The rash was round small circles that were raised and red. They did not itch until a doc told me to put witch hazel on them which dried them out.

Weird small health things began after this. Wish now that I had a pic. but I do not.

Any idea if this could have been more than
just a weird rash from an unknown cause? Just
have always wondered. Thanks,
mimi

hard to say mimi

I am no expert on rash's. But can relate my lifes experience only.

It could have been an allergic reaction to some food as a kid or even posion ivey/oak ect.. or even from a virus or fever. I had a similar rash as a kid. My mom said it was from eating strawberry's or from taking asprin. Not sure which one.

Lyme rash's come in many forms. Here's a link that show some:

Thanks for the pics Dana and tu tu I found one on treepatrols newbies. I had the uniform ovals

all over but can you have more than 1? The reason I am asking is I am trying to find out how long I have actually had this and remained ok until my traumatic loss. I had been told when I

was in college that it was from my haschimottos that I had had for 9 years untreated. So I am just trying to put the pieces of my puzzle together. Thanks for your help
